city or town bred man who has all his life
humped his back over a desk, living an
unhealthy, sedentary life and failed to take
any care of his health, could not stay on
the back of one of these vicious brutes for
more than three jumps.
It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious
animal People may talk about intellectual
superiority and refinement and good breed
ing, but every man takes off his hat to
physical strength and endurance. While
the man who leads a sedentary life cannot
hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy
men of the plains, they can be sound, vig
orous, healthy men if they will. It is a
matter of care of health while one has it,
and the proper measures to restore it when
it is lost Most diseases begin with some
trouble of the digestive organs or of the
liver. Troubles of this nature starve the
body, because they prevent it from receiv
ing its proper supply of nourishment Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a
man an appetite like a cew-boy’s aad the
digestion of an ostrich. Its jjreat work is
upon the stomach, large intestinesand liver.
These are the organs that nourish a man’s
body. This medicine makes them strong,
vigorous and healthy. Jt fills the blood
with the nourishment that builds new,
solid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves.

to my business and enjoying life.”
DISSOLUTION OF THE
COTTON TIECOMBINE
The farmers of the South will
be delighted to hear that the
price agreement existing among
the cotton tie and iron hoop
manufacturers of the country
during the past three years has
been dissolved by common con
sent of those interested at a
meeting held at Pittsburg. The
firms engaged in this branch of
the naetal trade and who were
bound by the price agreement
were the half dozen or so larg
est manufacturers in the coun
try.
The agreement has been main
tained faithfully up to the pres
ent and when one of the manu
facturers was asked if any change
in prices would occur, he said
no one was as anxious to know
as he was, as the market was
open, and his firm was ready to
meet any output.
Inasmuch as competition is
the life of trade and must nec
essarily bring the figures down,
we hope soon to see a reduction
in the price of cotten ties in
commensurate ratio with the
price of cotton itself.
Perhaps too, the owners of
the West Rome Cotton Tie mills
the only plant of the kind in the
iron fields of the cotton belt,will
now see their way to putting
the mills into operation. Big
money was made by these mills
before they fell a victim of the
octopus of combine. Big money
can be made with them again,
now that the trust is busted.
The news of the Canton trag
edy as London first got it was
to the effect that President Me- 1
Kinley had been murdered, and
people had time to speak of the
President’s many good qualities
and to speculate as to whether
it had been an anarchist plot
before they learned that the
victim was a brother-in-law of
the Chief Executive.
The “harmony reception’’ given
to the candidates on the New York
Republican State ticket last Mon
day was not attended by Governor
Black, who sent a most elaborate

Platt, who a* nt no let'er, and could
not be found high or low. Lou

The anti Candler Press said
